I certainly want to be a part of it again next year.” www.battistinisusa.com; www.arlenness.com RIVERA PRIMO: The Californian belt drive, clutch and transmission manufacturer and performance parts distributor is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year; www.riveraprimoinc.com JAMES GASKETS: Ralph Cholez, Vice President: “We have very much enjoyed being a part of the show. It was very nicely organized, and looked great, and for a first year I would say it has definitely delivered on having a start point for the future. We would definitely like to exhibit again in future years.” www.jamesgaskets.com DAYTONA TWIN TEC: Allen Alvarez, CEO: “The concept of the expo is right, and the show certainly looked good and was well organized, but we didn’t see enough dealers or consumers. We need the organizers to work on that, but provided they can, then we will take a look at supporting it again in the future.” www.daytona-twintec.com BAKER DRIVETRAIN: Bert Baker’s transmission products program is always a popular feature at any show and his stage appearance to ‘talk-tech’ attracted a big crowd; www.bakerdrivetrain.com KB PISTONS: Marko Glush, Sales Manager: “I was very glad to be a part of this first show and enjoyed the experience very much. I think the organizers are on to a good concept, a much needed business opportunity for an American manufacturer like us, and while the attendance clearly needs to be built, I would very much like to be a part again next year if budgets permit.” www.kb-silvolite.com TH U9I5`??Q???UL???????????e?Q?????5???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????((??()5I% 8?5=Q=I e 1?1H???)U1d?????()???5???????????????((0
